comments coming mainly from citizens of Nigeria both within Nigeria and outside
has again boasted about a fight against corruption in 2014, The President in
his New Year message to the nation made available by his Special Adviser on
Media and Publicity, Dr. Reuben Abati, Said the Federal Government would fight
corruption more in 2014. He said, “Our administration believes that the cost of
governance in the country is still too high and must be further reduced. We
will also take additional steps to stem the tide of corruption and leakages.
“We have worked hard to curb fraud in the administration of
the pension system and the implementation of the petroleum subsidy scheme. We
have introduced a Pensions Transition Arrangement Department under a new
Director-General. This department will now ensure that those of our pensioners
still under the old scheme receive their pensions and gratuities, and are not
subjected to fraud.
